American psychologists from West Virginia University studied the sexual messaging app, which refers to intimate correspondence between romantic partners, which can be accompanied by the exchange of obscene photos. They concluded that having sex isn’t always beneficial in a relationship. To work published In the scientific journal Sexuality and Culture.
Dr. Jonathan Beckmeyer and colleagues interviewed 484 young men and women about their sexual messaging experiences and how their relationships have evolved, both on the positive and the negative side.
The scientists found that 53% of respondents sent candid messages to their partners, and 52% received the same messages in response. Study participants who practiced sexting often said such interactions reminded them of the closeness and openness in a relationship.
At the same time, psychologists have found that people who already trust their partners deeply engage in sexually explicit texting. Therefore, correspondence on open topics by itself does not strengthen relations and can even harm them if one of the partners begins to insist on it against the will of the other.
In addition, the study showed that 42% of respondents had never participated in sexually explicit texting.
Psychologists reminded that sending candid messages and photos to unfamiliar people is a bad idea because that way the person risks becoming a victim of blackmail or the photos being leaked to the public. And if the interlocutor turns out to be a minor, such behavior is fraught with serious problems with the law.
